I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use—silence, exile, and cunning.
"Writing is an act of courage—you have to be willing to expose your deepest thoughts."
Challenges are opportunities in disguise; embrace them with courage.
Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.
The only way to grow is to step out of your comfort zone.
